A jealous runner-up snatches off the crown from the pageant winner in a beauty contest in Colombia

The embarrassing episode was captured on video and has gone viral

The losing bet was ridiculed online while the winner was praised for her grace and composure

The winning moment of a beauty queen in Colombia turned into a brief awkward episode after her jealous rival snatches the crown off her head and placed the tiara on her own head for a few seconds before storming off the stage.

The embarrassing incident was captured on video and has since gone viral after it was picked up by several international websites.

The viral 36-second clip showed Valentina Bonilla Neira, a 20-year-old law student relishing her victory on stage during a photo shoot after being crowned the ‘National Queen of Bambuco’.

But her bitter rival, runner-up Yeimy Lizeth Silvestre Gamez, a candidate from the capital Bogota, can be seen very less than pleased for not taking the title home and was waiting for the moment to steal the crown – and the spotlight – from Valentina.

Without a word, the defeated beauty pageant contestant snatched off the crown from the winner and placed it on her head for a few seconds before shoving the tiara back to the rightful owner and hastily fleeing the stage in apparent frustration amid ‘boos’ from the audience.

TAIPEI – A 33-year-old man was arrested in Taiwan on Monday (March 28) for allegedly chopping off the head of a four-year-old girl, reports said. The suspect, who reportedly has a history of mental illness, attacked the young girl at a Taipei suburb on Monday at about 11am, Focus Taiwan said. The attack happened right in front of her mother. Her grieving mother, Mrs Liu, told Apple Daily that she was about one metre away from her daughter, but could not stop the killer. The girl was going upslope on a strider bike when the suspect approached her from behind. She and her mother were on their way to a train station to meet her grandfather and her younger siblings. Thinking that the suspect was trying to help push her daughter up the slope, Mrs Liu did not attempt to stop him. Instead, he pulled out a chopper and brought it down on the little girl’s neck, the newspaper said. When she realised what was happening, Mrs Liu tried to hold the killer back, but was not strong enough to stop him. Passers-by then helped to subdue the attacker, but by then, he had decapitated the victim. A blood-stained chopper was found near the crime scene, said Focus Taiwan. “I could not believe it. How can something so cruel happen?” the girl’s grandmother sobbed as she told TVBS in Mandarin. The victim, nicknamed “Little Lightbulb”, is the second of four children in her family. Her father works in the IT industry, and her mother is a housewife. She has a nine-year-old sister and a younger brother and sister who are two-year-old twins. A photo of the suspect, his face splattered with blood as he was brought in by the police, was published by Taiwanese media. The suspect, surnamed Wang, is said to be unemployed, and has a history of mental illness and drug offences. The case has shocked Taiwanese.10236733.jpg
